Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1014363A2] A reproducing apparatus includes a first device for reproducing a signal of a run-length-limited code from a recording medium. A transversal filter subjects the signal reproduced by the first device to a partial-response waveform equalization depending on tap coefficients. A second device defects whether or not the signal reproduced by the first device corresponds to a zero-cross point, and generates 0-point information in response to a result thereof. A delay circuit responsive to the 0-point information for outputs at least three successive samples of the 0-point information. A temporary decision device calculates a temporary decision value of the equalization-resultant signal on the basis of a PR mode signal, an RLL mode signal, the successive samples of the 0-point information which are outputted from the delay circuit, and an actual value of the equalization-resultant signal. A third device calculates a difference between the temporary decision value of the equalization-resultant signal and the actual value thereof, and generates an error signal in response to the calculated difference. A fourth device controls the tap coefficients of the transversal filter in response to the error signal generated by the third device. <IMAGE>
